一名前自由党议员大部分被宣告无罪,罪名是对儿童性虐待,由于陪审团缺席,有两起案件尚未解决。 A former Liberal MP was mostly acquitted of child sexual abuse charges, with two counts unresolved due to a hung jury.

一名前自由党议员因与涉及一名13岁男孩的指控相关的儿童性虐待指控大多被宣告无罪,陪审团裁定他犯有多项罪名无罪。 A former Liberal MP has been mostly acquitted of child sexual abuse charges linked to allegations involving a 13-year-old boy, with a jury finding him not guilty on multiple counts. 然而,陪审团在另外两项指控上陷入僵局,使这些指控未得到解决,并有可能重新审判。 However, the jury deadlocked on two other charges, leaving those counts unresolved and potentially subject to a retrial. 该案由于被告的政治历史而引起公众的注意,对这两条罪状仍持开放态度,没有就检察官是否将进一步采取法律行动立即作出决定。 The case, which drew public attention due to the accused’s political history, remains open on those two counts, with no immediate decision on whether prosecutors will pursue further legal action.
